"The minister thinks that the three heavenly runes, the first two runes have a fixed number, only this third rune paper, strong luck and holy name, can not be competent, non-investigation and training, the focus of the selection should also fall on the third rune paper."

The best way to deal with Wu Zetian is to pretend to be a ghost and try it repeatedly.

Sure enough, she bowed her head slightly and asked, "What is the method you are talking about?" ”

"In the past, Emperor Taizong was in the White Horse Temple, and ordered the monk Xuanzang to learn scriptures from the west, and after nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties to get real gold, this Xuanzang is a person of strong luck, and there must be a god possessed by the body, otherwise he will die halfway through the difficulties and dangers."

Quoting scriptures and classics is convincing, Li Ran said in a deep voice, "But those who are lucky will be able to accomplish what others can't do, and make the impossible possible. ”

"Not bad!" , Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows and understood his train of thought, "Speaking of strong luck, it is rumored that the battle situation of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty was unfavorable, and suddenly a meteorite fell into the enemy formation, and the enemy army broke itself, which is the destiny of heaven to help him." ”

It's enough to be on the road, what I want is your words!

"Therefore, the emperor, the minister thinks that he can make the candidate do the unacceptable, in order to prove his strong luck, and after the strong luck, there is a good name, a good name, not to mention reaching the level of Yao Shunyu soup, at least you have to look at it, the best way is to do things that benefit the people, and the people's will can be called a good name."

After going around in a big circle, she finally dispelled all Wu Zetian's suspicions, she was old in the end, and her thinking was not as sharp as when she was young.

Li Ran took a deep breath and showed his hole cards.

"The minister thought of two things, both of which can be called providential, but they are beneficial to the country and the people, it is better to let the candidate complete these two things, if you can succeed, you must be the emperor's best successor."

"Oh? What's the matter! Wu Zetian instantly became interested.

"First things first, control the water!"

Li Ran smiled, "The Yellow River water control stretches for thousands of miles, every year, the counties along the coast are affected by its disasters, the emperor has been in power for so long, the method of repairing the river embankment and diverting the river has changed, but the Yellow River should flood or flood, and the effect is not great, so if someone can cure the water of the Yellow River, its luck can be compared with Yao Shun." ”

The opening was Wang Zhan, and Wu Zetian and Zhang Khan Zhi were stunned.

Is this a task that mortals can accomplish?

"The second thing, a good harvest!"

Of course, Li Ran's cards have not been played yet, and he guarantees that the cool waves are one after another, and he said in a deep voice, "Cultivation is the foundation of the country, our Datang has been founded for nearly a hundred years, but the wind and rain are not smooth, the grain output is not as good as the previous dynasty, the hatred of the life of the emperor, if someone can make our Datang's grain output far exceed the previous dynasty, its merits can be compared to the ancestor Shennong's, naturally a first-class virtuous name." ”

Water control and abundant harvests complement each other, and have plagued the common problems of thousands of feudal dynasties.

Li Ran's operation is absolutely right to the point.

Wu Zetian pondered, as if he felt that these two things were impossible to do at all.

Zhang Cambodia also thinks so, and is very indignant...... What's the difference between this and being a nuisance?

"Cheng Lilang, you set the requirements for the name of Qiang Yun and the virtuous name so high, won't you make no one inherit the crown prince!"

Tsk, this old thing, today is really enlightened, the knife is a critical attack, and every sentence is assisted.

Wu Zetian's originally hesitant face instantly became firm.

"According to Cheng Lilang's words, how can I let incompetent and immoral people sit in my Tang Dynasty?"

She didn't want to set up a reserve at all, so she set the threshold higher, which was exactly what she wanted, "Tomorrow morning, I will announce that the next day, you all step down." ”

The rice has been cooked, Zhang Cambodia wants to persuade again, Wu Zetian has already gotten up and returned to the palace, so he can't chase him to someone's bedroom.

This old man was angry, so he went straight to Li Ran and complained for a while.

"Sereiro! Do you know what you are doing today, you want to make me the last of the Tang Dynasty! ”

“…… Master Zhang, your hat is too buttoned. ”

Li Ran was speechless, spread his hands and said, "I'm just giving a suggestion, isn't the specific person who decides the emperor himself?" ”

Zhang Cambodia suddenly became angry, it seemed that Li Ran really couldn't carry this pot.

"Besides, what Lord Zhang can't do, how can he know that others can't do it?"

When he saw it, he accepted it, Li Ran suddenly lowered his voice, "When the court is in court tomorrow, does Lord Zhang have any people to recommend?" ”

“…… What do you want to say? Zhang Cambodia suddenly became vigilant, the two talked about the choice of the crown prince, and they were not buying cabbage in the market.

"It's nothing, I got acquainted with Lord Jinghui a few days ago, Lord Jing and my father-in-law hit it off at first sight, and they talked very happily, tomorrow, maybe he will recommend my father-in-law."

Li Ran smiled and half-truthed.

"What! Jinghui ......", Zhang Khan Zhi's expression was grim, "King Luling also wants to wade this troubled water?" ”

"Lord Zhang, what is the muddy water, my father-in-law has been an emperor in the middle of the year."

Li Ran instantly became serious, strictly speaking, this word already belongs to the category of great rebellion, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Cambodia's chess piece must be used in the court tomorrow, he would not have taken the risk.

“…… King Luling, alas, is indeed a pity. ”

Zhang Cambodia glanced around, no one else was there, and suddenly sighed.

This attitude, there is a door! He is worthy of being Li Tang's staunchest supporter.

"If you also think that King Luling is a pity, tomorrow in the court, you might as well recommend one."

"Oh, you want me to recommend King Luling?"

"No, no, it's not my father-in-law, you have to recommend Liang Wangwu to think twice."

Li Ran's divine reply made Zhang Khan feel messy in the wind at the moment, and he thought he had heard it wrong.

"King Liang? What the hell do you mean! ”

"There is no other meaning, that is, the heir to the crown prince must be elected tomorrow, and he must be the most popular candidate in the emperor's heart, and then, there will be a few more people to accompany him, and my father-in-law is one of the companions."

The words have been made very clear, if Zhang Cambodia still doesn't understand, then it is better to hide as far as possible from the pig teammates, so as not to be trapped.

Fortunately, this old man has rich political experience, "You mean, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind?" ”

“…… Tomorrow, I will ask you to help you, Mr. Zhang. ”

Li Ran smiled and said goodbye first, leaving only Zhang Cambodia standing in place thoughtfully.

That night, a celebrant eunuch in the palace came to Princess Taiping's mansion and bluntly asked her and Li Xian to go to the palace to face the saint tomorrow morning.

It seems that Wu Zetian and his thinking are similar, and he has enough to accompany the intended candidates in his heart.

Princess Taiping couldn't hide her joy, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep, and she couldn't wait until dawn immediately...... Li Ran lives in her mansion, so naturally there is no need to hide the issue of tomorrow's court from her.

Of course, Li Xian was much more worried, and he couldn't sleep either, and in the middle of the night, he knocked on the door of Li Ran's bedroom wearing a single coat.

Li Ran had to be glad that he didn't sleep in the same bed with Xian Hui'er tonight, otherwise no matter how good his temper was, his father-in-law would have to cut him with a knife.

Open the door, get dressed, make tea, prepare snacks, all in one go.

Fight a Hache and be ready to fight a long game...... Tonight must be a sleepless night of long conversations.
